Steven Scheu signs a free agent deal with the New England Patriots

Vanderbilt's All-SEC tight end will continue his football career with a team that loves playmaking TEs.

Vanderbilt tight end Steven Scheu has signed a free agent contract with the New England Patriots.

Pleased to announce that I've signed with the #Patriots! Couldn't be more excited about what's to come!

The 6'5, 250 pounder will join a team that knows how to utilize big targets. The Patriots have been a pioneer with their use of two tight end sets. While Rob Gronkowski is the team's headliner, other players like Aaron Hernandez, Scott Chandler, Daniel Fells, and Tim Wright have also been deployed as red zone receivers.
